It may seem like a stretch, but one physician swears that once you identify your personality traits you'll be able to achieve lasting weight loss. He's even designed a quiz to help you get to know yourself better. Are you a hearty portioner, a hate-to-move struggler or a can't-say-no-pleaser? You can find out with his Personality Quiz.
 
Basically, it's your mind that matters.
 
Dr. Robert Kushner says that the reason most people fail to lose weight is because they're focusing on the food instead of the real problem at hand. It's important to study your patterns and your habits to keep history from repeating itself. Knowing how to manage your personality traits is half the battle.
 
Once you've identified your personality type, Dr. Kushner shows you how to get a handle on those bad habits. But what would the Personality Type Diet be without a meal plan. Dr. Kushner recommends a diet comprised of "super foods," plant-based foods that are loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber. These foods lower your risk for heart disease, cancers, diabetes and other common ailments.
